Twonky has several products that allow you to manage your media and stream it throughout your home on different devices – including Xbox 360. If you turn up the quality, I recommend hardwiring it to your router for more seamless playback. Also, by default, the video stream is set to Medium, and you can set it to a higher quality in Settings. Note: You don’t need to launch the app for Twonky to stream content to the Roku it just needs to be installed.Ī couple of other features to note is it has a “Beam Queue” so you can line up videos to watch, and you need to tap to play different ones. You’ll see a beam logo across the video just tap it to stream it over to your Roku to enjoy on your HDTV! Tap to start playing the video, and a menu will come up asking you to select the device to “beam” the video too, in this case, Roku. Then, pick a channel – here I’m using YouTube. On your smartphone or tablet, launch the Twonky app and navigate through the tutorial. But, you don’t need a Twonky account for this to work. Launch the Twonky channel, and you’ll see it already has some online video content you can access and link to your Twonky account. Then go to your Roku and update the Channels, and you should see the Twonky channel appear. Then log in to your Roku account to the Add Channel page and type: mytwonky and click Yes, Add Channel.
First, install the free app called Twonky Beam for your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet:
